The Supreme Court of Appeal in the case of PFC Properties (Pty) Ltd v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Services and Others (543/21; 409/22) ZASCA 111; (1) SA 400 (SCA) (21 July 2023) adjudicated precisely thisscenario.

Early Detection of Fraud and/or Corruption in Arbitrations: Lessons from the Recent English Court Decisions?
Two recent English Commercial Court decisions serve as a warning to dishonest parties hoping to exploit the arbitral process to obtain or enforce fraudulent or corrupt arbitration awards. The English courts generally follow a non-interventionist approach when it comes to the challenge of enforcement of arbitral awards.
